Traditionally danced by men. While playing the character of a woman, the Senufo kpelie mask is a well known art form among the Senufo tribe, characterized by its various perimeter projections, and humanoid features. Their various projections and strange appearance are said to represent the inherent imperfection in humans and humanity. Although this ethnic group spans across a number of African countries, I believe this piece is from the Côte d'Ivoire(aka Ivory Coast) The mask measures approximately 13” long(sans raffia) x 6 1/4" wide. One of the projections has a minor chip on it and another has a minor crack. Having said this though, the mask is in great condition with a large amount of pigmentation still present. A mane of raffia fiber surrounds the mask, and its perimeter is decorated with cowrie shells, widely recognized in West African cultures as a sign of prosperity.

$68.10 Shipping Location: Jupiter, United States This is a large p olka dotte Senufo helmet mask"Kopnyungo" kno w in the West as a Fire-spitter. Very impressive array of tee th and tusks in ... morenice contrast to two cute chameleons on top. In 2009 portions of my collection were exhibited at the University of Maryland's Mosely Gallery- the exhibition was called"Honoring the Ancestors. Only 170 of my 300+ items could fit in the gallery. This mask was exhibited in that exhibition. I have included photos of that installation as well as other items I am selling or will be selling soon. Janiform(meaning 2-faced) example would have been worn at Poro ceremonies including funerals and would also have fought sorcery( dee bele) and harmful spirits( nikw’abele) At the top of this helmet is a small cup held by two chameleons. The mask was not complete until magical substances( wah) were placed into this receptacle. Additional Information: A superb piece. With matched four-horned faces on either side, one shared pair of ears, and paired figures on top pulling on the bowl which would have held magical elements. Red and white pigments have been applied over the black, but use has worn them away somewhat. Inner patina suggests wear. This large helmet mask known as"Kopnyungo. meaning literally a funeral head mask is worn by senior members of Poro at funerals of deceased and honored members. Large composite masks danced by the Senufo symbolically incorporate a number of different animal motifs to create an image that is aggressive and powerful. The crocodile mouth at the front of this mask incorporates warthog tusks coming out of the upper jaw represent the uncontrolled forces of the bush. This mask is most probably used by Senufo farmers and when worn the dancer would look out through the opening of the mouth. This is an excellent example of Senufo masks.

Extremely Rare Senufo War Helmet W/ Custom Cast Iron Base. Ivory Coast.
The Senufo produce a rich variety of sculptures. Mainly associated with the poro society. The sculptors and metalsmiths. Endogamous groups responsible for making the cult objects live on their own in a separate part of the village. The attitude shown toward them by other Senufo is a mixture of fear and respect, owing to their privileged relationship with the natural forces that they are capable of channeling in a sculpture. During initiations, headpieces are worn that have a flat, vertical, round or rectangular board on top decorated with paint or pierced work. Many wood carvings of male figures depict these headpieces, sometimes on rhythm pounders used by young initiates, who beat the earth to call upon the ancestors to take part in the ceremony and purify the earth. The carvers also produce ritual female statues. Including mother-and-child ... morefigures, as well as statuettes depicting bush spirits and supernatural beings and equestrian figures. Large statues representing hornbills(often seen also on masks) and used in the lo society as symbols of fertility are the standing birds called porpianong. Figures of the hornbill are used in initiation. And groups of birds on a pole are trophies for the best farmer. Figures of male and female twins and of horsemen are used in divination. These represent the spirit familiars enabling the divination process. The diviners themselves are women, forming the sandogo society. Shrine doors and drums are carved in relief. And small figures and ritual rings are cast in bronze. Several types of mask are used depending upon the occasion. The kpelie. A human face with projections all around. Is said to remind initiates of human imperfection. Danced by men, these masks perform as female characters. Animal-head masks usually combine characteristics of several creatures-hyena, warthog, and antelope. A type of animal mask called waniugo has a cup for a magical substance on top; these masks blow sparks from their muzzles in a nighttime ritual protecting the village from sorcerers. Among t

Damage/Repair, cracks in one leg and in base. Stains, Senufo Female Figure with Crocodile on Top African Additional Information: Standing female Figure from the Senufo people. The figure has straight legs resting on a conical ... morecarved base. The head is surmounted with a animal form that represents the spirit of bush. The jutting breasts and the scarification in places indicate the figure represents a mature female. Among the Senufo of the Ivory Coast art plays a prominent role in their ceremonial and ritual life. Male or female figures such as this were used during Sando divination to carry messages to the spirit world. The diviner. Most often a woman, would cast a set of cowry shells and interpret them. She would then repeat the message to the small figures known as Tuâule so they could carry it to the spirits and return with an answer for the client. Tuiâule figures such as this are known in a number of local styles and this figure shows long use as there is some softening of features due to much handling. This figure carries subtle Senufo elements and is a strong example of Senufo carving. I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi. Ph.D. 59729* All content.

Senufo Seated Figure Carved Crocodile on Top African
Title, Senufo Seated Figure with Carved Crocodile on Top African Type of Object, Carved sculpture, Country of Origin, Cote d'Ivoire, People, Senufo, Materials, Wood.

In stool, chips and holes from insect damage arrested in body and under the stool and in legs, Additional Information: A carving figure sitting on a stool and carrying a framed crocodile figure on the head! The surperstructure featuring a crocodile adds another dimension to this piece. The meaning of this imagery is not known. This carved figure has all the hallmarks of a classic Senufo sculpture in terms of details and the appearance of a well-used surface of the figure. Senufo carvings were used during different ceremonies ... moreand unless one knows the specific context of the figure it is often difficult to name the specific use and name of the figure. However what is presented is a young strong man with a mature facial expression. A strong body and the presence of the antilope on the top. Figures such as this may have been commissioned by the male âPoro Societyâ or the female âTykpa(Tykepa) Society, both which were concerned with initiations, funerals and social control. She may also have been a Yasungo, a shrine figure or one of a male-female pair representing the first couple known as âKasingeleâ. What ever her use and appearance she is a strongly carved figure in a local style, however she has an atypical superstructure. Recommended Reading: Glaze.

They live principally off the fruits of agriculture and occasionally hunting. Senufo agriculture is typical of the region, including millet, sorghum, maize, rice, and yams. They also grow bananas, manioc, and a host of other crops that have been borrowed from cultures throughout the world. Small farm animals such as sheep, goats, chickens, guinea fowl, and dogs are raised. Minimal amounts of hunting and fishing also contribute to the local ... moreeconomy. Labor is divided between farmers and skilled artisans, and while it was once thought that these segments of society did not intermarry, In addition to a belief in a creator deity, ancestors and nature spirits, a central concept in Senufo religion is a female ancestral spirit called“ancient mother” or“ancient woman, the sacred guiding spirit of each poro society. All adult men belong to the poro society, which maintains the continuity of religious and historical traditions, especially through the cult of the ancestors. The poro is the pillar of communal life. Responsible for initiation and training of the young boys, it is aimed at shaping an accomplished, social man who is integrated to the collective; it aids his entry into public responsibilities. A woman’s association, the sandogo, in charge of divination, is responsible for contact with the bush spirit who might be bothered by the activities of the hunt, farming, or of artisans.

Museum Grade Antique Ivory Coast Senufo Wedding Mask/Finely Carved

Bid with Confidence; we guarantee all items to be as stated. Email me! Please check my about me page& NOTE:WE BUY FROM PRIVATE HOMES! Buyer to pay shipping/handling and insurance if desired. I just bought this BEAUTIFUL Antique Senufo Wedding Mask of the Ivory Coast of Africa. And it is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. It came from the home of an elderly woman, whose mother had purchased it from an African American Museum in North or South Carolina that closed and sold its collection. The original ticket is still on the back(see photo) According to the museum's description this is a double-faced mask used during wedding ceremonies. It symbolizes cosmic duality and insures fertility. The card and ... moretape on the back have discoloration and yellowing typical of old age. We do not know if the number 63 on the card is the year of the sale or a catalogue number. The refinement of the carving of the entire piece, its crispness in execution, have none of the crudeness of later works. The bird on top has great power in its simplicity, and the overall mask expresses the spirituality of a master carver. Totally hand-carved, it probably dates to around 1870. It measures 18 1/2" by 7" at most extreme points. Please check my other auctions for an African Spear from this same collection and email me with any questions.

The Senufo carve numerous male and female figures in a variety of positions, as well as many remarkable masks.

Ivory Coast, Ghana and Mali. The Rhythm Pounder(deble) from the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast was once a crucial prop in both commemorative ancestral rites and in initiations of adolescents to adult society; it was also a benevolent symbol of fertility and a conduit to the departed. The few known male and female rhythm pounder pairs are thought to represent the primordial couple. Referred to as'Pombibele' which means"those who gave birth. Typically it is female figures are represented and it has been speculated that these single figures are one of a pair, the location of the other being unknown. According to Anita Glaze(in Barbier, ed. 1993: 44) however, not all funerary sculpture is commissioned as a pair, nor do all relatively large scale processional display figures necessarily belong to the primordial couple category. A poro society may possess one or more single figures that were initially commissioned as a result of a member's visionary encounter with spirits in dreams or while alone in the fields. These pounders were traditionally used at funeral ceremonies for Poro soc

AFRICAN TRIBAL SENUFO WOOD BRASS & SNAKE SKIN DOUBLE BOWL PIPE
An unusual pipe with a double bowl purchased in 1980 in Liberia. The body of the pipe is made of wood. The bowls and antelope/buffalo heads decoration are made of brass and the stem is wrapped in a snake skin. That type of pipe has been attributed to both Senufo and Bobo people, I think it is Senufo because I have seen other ornaments from that tribe decorated with similar antelope and buffalo heads motifs. The elaborate decoration suggests that it was used as a ceremonial pipe but I bought it for its appearance. Dimensions: 23 ½" long. Stem ¾" diameter, width with the decorations approx. 2" During the time I worked and lived in Liberia I started collecting African art. Both traditional and contemporary, I continued enlarging my collection when, few years later, I returned to work in Africa in Zaire(now Democratic ... moreRepublic of Congo) I collected these items for their decorative value and can not vouch that they were actually used in rituals, that did not interest me. All such items which I am selling now on Ebay were either purchased by me or received as gifts from my coworkers or missionaries I worked with while in Africa. The authenticity of items used in tribal rituals is notoriously difficult to ascertain. The members of the tribe which use the various artifacts in their rituals attribute to them magical powers and are highly unlikely to sell them. Most of such items on the market were most likely obtained by theft. I have only one mask that I received directly from the tribe and that was after I was invited by one of my coworkers to witness a funeral ceremony. Please do not hesitate to ask for additional information about the item or a different shipping method. If you are interested in African art please check my other listings current and future.

ARTE AFRICANA Senufo Fine Senufo maternity Figure. Material: hard wood. Age craks patina. Origin: Ivorry Coast Size: Height 54 cm. XX century Check out my other items or only Auction T. B Background T he Senufo are a group of people living in northern Cote d'Ivoire and Mali. They are known as excellent farmers and are made up of a number of different groups who moved south to Mali and Cote d'Ivoire in the 15 and 16th centuries. The Senufo follow a strict caste-like system. In which the farmer is at the top and the musicians are on the bottom rung of the society. One of the great honors for a Senefou male is to become the sambali, or champion cultivator. The sambali is respected throughout the region and in his old age is given predominantly leadership roles. Another society for Senefou males is the poro. The poro is usually located ... morein the forest and serves as a school for young men until they reach adulthood. Much sculptured work is made in the poro this is where much of the wood carvings, brass sculptures, and masks are made. Sometimes these are sold to local artisans. The greatest achievement for a Senefou woman is the ability to cook well. If a girl or woman cannot cook well it is a great shame to the family, especially the mother. The womans society, known as the sandogo is mainly responsible for divination. A very animistic society the Senefou believe that everything is a result of the ancestor spirits. If a ritual is not performed correctly then the spirit will cause drought. Infertility, or prolonged illness.

Wooden Figure, Oracle 3970 Senufo Kafigeledjo Display Incl.
ARTE AFRICANA Senufo Senufo Kafigeledjo oracle figure. Material: Wood. Iron, feathers, shells, fiber, organic material. The left foot has a reparation Height 80 cm 33.46 inches 88 cm with wood display Origin: Ivorry Coast Middle XX century Wood display included Kafigeledjo divination is used to uncover misdeeds. False testimony, and culpability. Like the tyeli divination technique practiced by Sandobele, this pursuit of truth ultimately seeks to preserve and uphold Senufo social guidelines concerning descent. It does so by unveiling illicit behavior and by punishing with supernatural sanctions those who violate rules pertaining to forbidden sexual relations and exogamous marriage. The kafigeledjo figure is concealed within a small hut. And although it has the potential to affect all members of a Senufo community, access to this oracle figure ... moreis restricted to the most enlightened senior male and. Occasionally, female members. These elders occupy positions of leadership, as initiates into the highest level of esoteric knowledge imparted by Poro. The Senufo men's initiation association. Poro and its counterpart, Sandogo(the Senufo women's association) function as a system of government and oversee religious education and all ritual practices. Kafigeledjo is reputed to have been an instrument of such elites throughout Senufo society in the past. But more recently it has been the sole province of the Kulebele wood carvers, a Senufo artisan subgroup in the Korhogo region.
